Our Rheumatology Specialists
Do you suffer from joint pain, loss of motion in a joint, or even inflammation, swelling, and a warmth in a joint or affected area? If your pain is severe or persists for more than a few days you should see your primary care physician, who may refer you to our practice. Early diagnosis in arthritic conditions, particularly rheumatoid arthritis, can result in better patient outcomes, but symptoms are often difficult for non-rheumatologists to diagnose.
With more than more than 50 years of combined experience, our rheumatologists treat arthritis, certain autoimmune diseases and musculoskeletal pain disorders. They will perform a thorough evaluation including medical history and testing such as blood tests, x-rays and scans when needed for an accurate diagnosis.
We are committed to providing a shared understanding of the patient’s illness and a personalized treatment plan.
To provide the best service to our patients, we do require a physician referral.
